I had an IUD inserted today (the five year). This may seem like a silly question, but I'm going to ask anyway. How is the hormone released from the IUD? Is it possible for too much to be released, and if so what would happen to a person who received too much? Thanks!

I have the Mirena.....I haven't had a problem with it. I don't think it is possible for too much to be released. The way it was explained to me was the hormone stay localized inside the uterus so I doubt much would happen.

Mirena is a hormone-releasing intrauterine device placed in the uterus for birth control. Mirena is made of plastic and is T-shaped. It contains a synthetic hormone called levonorgestrel (LNG), a progestin hormone often used in oral contraceptive pills. Mirena releases the hormone into the uterus, and small amounts enter the blood stream.
And no I do not believe it will release to much of the hormone at a time.

IUD those are scarry things. anyways im sure they dont release more then they are suposed to. i had one put in in april and since i am so young and never had children before the IUD went through my uterus and into my stomach. i was in the hospital for 9 days to make sure it didnt go toxic in my body. this is like 1 in a million chances that this happens so dont think this will happen to you. i just hope you did alot of research on the IUD before you got it done. i dont think it would release too much unless something went wrong with the IUD. just always make sure you can find that string!!!!
